"Ah, memories…"

Having recently moved house I’ve found lots of old stuff I forgot about.

My favorite thing to find so far…my old school reports from year 2 up to 11.

I was a good little boy, but I had awful English abilities.

My favorite thing I’ve found was one bit of a report that I had to write. We had to write two sentences, one that had to be something we knew to be true and another that we knew to be false.

My true sentence: i wil mak at lest won speling mistak in this sentance

I was a sarcy little sod from an early age.

Ha ha. Me too. Especially the stuff where I write about monsters and aliens.

i don't know if any of my old school reports still exist. why does everyone hold on to them? as long as you can get by now, does it matter what your year 5 teacher wrote about you?

Snap. My parents had a clearout recently and burnt it. It was banished like cong_man's tagline.

I've still got my school reports from about age 11 to 16. It's funny watching the 1s for effort and As for achievement turn into 2s and 3s and Bs, Cs and Ds.

By the end of my GCSEs I must've had the highest "truancy" record (and I only got caught three times!) and the biggest drop in benchmarks.

Of course nowadays it's a different game, what with swipe cards and stuff, not showing up to lessons is a hard thing to pull off, but back then we knew all the tricks of the trade. Kind of wish I didn't now, though, since I'm stuck in an office job...

Did they not.. My parent kept everything from infant school to college. My drawing way back then left a lot be desired. Especailly my drawings of the normans when we did a project on them. Then i kept all my uni stuff.
Just count yourself lucky Cong that all of that stuff is at home. Otherwise the house would be full of my junk!
